got caught not having a valid ticket on londonmidland

[KentPhilip]

Just see is as equivalent to shoplifting, basically you used a service and didn't pay. If you do it persistently you can go to jail. The higher the ticket fare the more serious it is. If you right an apologetic letter, just as it helps other criminals to show remorse it should help you too.

write!

good god!

well im skint and finally got caught, I accidently put in the wrong ticket and the fat bitch came out of the station whilst i was waiting for a lift, later came out some inspector and they took my name, as i normally pay for a monthly ticket for the last 3years,

they said their fraud department will be sending me a letter and read me my rights as if they were police officers i was like wtf is going on here.

It's just a train service they cant do anything or can they?

little bit worried about the fraud department effecting my sc, is using a train without a valid ticket a criminal offence?

Did they ask for ID? If not when you receive the letter from the fraud dept just deny it was you on the train, and say someone nicked your identity. And then change address.

hi the ticket i put in was the single ticket to my destination, not the return ticket thats what screwed me, and the reason why i get through the barriers is because I am fast and can easily walk behind someone when they put their own ticket in, thats all.

Well i got paid today so no more train hopping.

oh and the reason why I put it in, whereas normally i jsut pretend to put it in, is becasue i got of the train and i was at the front of the crowd, i wasn't thinking right, normally I just put myself in the middle of the crowd, but since i was near the front i had no choice and screwed myself, was a silly mistake.

The return ticket? You mean the return ticket that you didn't have? Because you were planning to travel without a ticket and go through the barrier with someone else who did have a ticket? It is (slowly) becoming clearer.

When you said that you accidentally put in the wrong ticket, you mean that it was a mistake to put in a ticket at all because you quite deliberately didn't have a valid ticket.

Maybe the poster is poor. Perhaps Gordon can change the law so that "poor" people don't have to pay for anything. It's all free. That's what a Socialist would demand.

You deliberately evade your fare not knowing the law and when you get caught you can't admit on a forum where no one who you actually are, what you tried to do.


Evading fares is a civil penalty and lots of people have done it in their time. If you get caught you either give them someone else's name and address which you can rattle off quickly then state you don't have any id on you, or you tell the truth and pay up.

Then you either admit to people you know that you have got caught for fare evasion or keep quiet.

Actually fare evasion comes under the offence of dishonesty and that's a criminal offence.

Oh dear.

Attempting to Pervert the Course of Justice... they throw the book at you for that...

It seems to me he was redirecting the course of justice to a more deserving soul.
